Here, all in one place, is a list of makes of non-Tesla cars that can charge at NACS (see image at right) Tesla supercharging stations. The ecosystem of Tesla-style charging plugs is also called “NACS” or “North American Charging Standard” (Wikipedia article). Note that this works at only some Tesla superchargers, namely V3 chargers, which have a black collar on the NACS plug (blog article). Note that this does not work at all V3 chargers, but only at the V3 chargers that have had new software installed.
For this to work, the car owner needs to use a NACS-to-CCS1 adapter (image at right). The charging is “plug-and-charge”, meaning that you plug in the car and the charging commences, with no need to fuss with a smart phone. See also Who gets to do “plug and charge” in the US?
